VOTE: Who Won 2016? Choose From Drake, Chance The Rapper, Young Thug & More

Which rapper should be named champion of 2016?

Though year-end lists are naturally subjective, they give us an opportunity to round-up the overwhelming amount of great music that hip-hop gave us in 2016. The lists have also inspired fruitful debate in the comments section. We've rolled out the lists for Hottest Songs, Hottest Albums, Hottest Mixtapes, Breakout Artists, Breakout Producers, and more. Now it's time to decide upon the King of 2016, and rather than crown our own selection, we're leaving the vote up to you. Though we expect a tight and divisive contest, there should be some consensus regarding the nominees. There's no denying that the guys listed below led the charge in what was a huge year for hip-hop.

Underneath each artist's name is a recap of his output this year. Vote below and defend your choice in the comments. We've also put up a poll on Facebook Live, though that one doesn't include Future, Kanye, 2 Chainz, or Lil Uzi.
